Congressman Kreider Recalls One
Prediction and Makes
Another
REPUBLICAN CLUB RALLY
So Many Members Present That
All Could Not Find
Seats
Recalling that before ft meeting of
the Republican State committee in
Harrisburg last spring he had pre
dicted before the end of the year the
Democratic party would be either issu
ing bonds or levying special taxes to
cover the deficit in the national treas
ury he then saw Impending, Congress
man Aaron S. Kreider, in a strong
speech before the Harrisburg Repub
lican Club last evening, again pre
dicted that as long as the Democratic
party remains In power and the Un
derwood tariff law is allowed to stand
lis It is now, so long will it be neces
sary to levy a special tax on the Indi
vidual to make up the losses that it
is entailing on the government and
the najion.
Congressman Kreider came here
from Washington as the guest of honoi
at the club rally, the largest held in
many years, and after his address
motored over to Hummelstown, where
about half the population had turned
out to attend a big Republican mass
meeting.
Congress Should Adjourn
"The greatest service the present
Congress could render the country
would be to repeal about $57,000,000
of extravagant and unnecessary appro
priations which the Democrats have
passed and then adjourn," continued
Mr. Kreider. "If Congress would do
this there would be. no need at pres
ent for the so-called 'war tax' meas
ure. But the Income of the govern
ment is sure to be lower next year
than It was this and the balance of

TO PROSECUTE MEN
WHO THROW DEBRIS
OVER RIVER BAM
Work on Slope Treatment; Con
struct Depressed Walk; Plant
Trees Next Month
City Commissioner Taylor, head of
the Department of Parks and Play
grounds, stated to-day that immediate
prosecution would be commenced In
all cases of the violation of the regu
lation restricting the throwing of de
bris over the river slope.
Within a few days a force of his de
partment cleaned up the bank with a
view to filling out the low places and
this morning a large quantity of tree
tops and branches were thrown over
the slope In the vicinity of Harris
street. He will place an officer or two
to watch this particular violation and
arrests wMI follow.
W£rk will be started In a day or
two on the treatment of the slope
wherever possible. In view of the !
fact that the concrete work'has been
finished on that section between
"Hardscrabble" and Maclay street, the
construction of a depressed walk will
go forward. It is somewhat doubtful
now whether any of the dirt from the
subway at Second and Mulberry
streets will be utilized in the filling
out of the slope along the river in the
narrow stretches north of Calder
street, owing to the expense of the
long haul. There is great disappoint
ment as a result owing to the fact
that filling material is so hard to pro
cure. City Commissioner Taylor with
drew his offer to the Stucker Rrothers
Construction Company yesterday.
Planting of Trees
As Arbor Day falls somewhat ear- ]
tier this year, it is the intention of 1
the Park Department to postpone the
planting of a large number of trees '
throughout the park system until next
month. Commissioner Taylor stated
this morning that a considerable num
ber of elm trees and other suitable va
rieties were ready to be transferred
to the park along the river and else
where throughout the system. He will
also have old stumps in the neigh
borhood of Pine street removed so
that that section of the park can be <
put in order. ,

RARICAL CHANGES 111
CLARK ACT WILL BE
URGED ofljraiy
Amendment Will Permit Harris
burg to Provide' Municipal
Boathouse
CIVIL SERVICE FOR POLICE
Change Tenure of Office; License
Professional Men; Re-draught
Referendum
Harrisburg needn't bother about the
necessary legal authority to build,
maintain and operate municipal boat
and bath houses if the Legislature
permits one of a number of impor
tant amendments to the Clark act sug
gested yesterday by the special com
mittee of the Pennsylvania Third Class
city league.
The incorporation of the municipal
boathouse provision will mean much
to Harrisburg. With the possibility
of a completed water front by next
Spring the question of proper boat
house facilities is already attracting
attention throughout the city. The
settling of the legal question would be
an important step In inaugurating a
campaign for the purpose, it Is figured
as under the proposed Stern amend
ment Harrisburg could provide for the
erection, maintenance and operation
or a municipal boathouse in its next
budget.
In addition to the boat and bath
house provisions here are a few of the
other very radical changes adopted for
presentation to the assembly at its ses
sion in January:
Tlic Revisions
Civil service for police and fire
departments.
Changing of tenure of council

The Washingtom&n Razzle-Dazzle
[Prom the Philadelphia Bulletin.]
AI,\R(iK portion of tlie Washington party In Pennsylvania has flatly
refused to have anything to do with the sort of half-breed fusion
for delivering the party to Vance McCormiek as the Democratic
candidate for Governor, and It looks as If the Fllnn end of the concern
were having a pretty rough time of It In the breakers.
•\t the same time the Glfford Plnehot branch of the campaign, out
side »>r the liquor issue, does not appear to be making any more headway
than it did a month ago. The prevailing trouble al>out It is that the
average Pennsylvania!! has little of a disposition to take Glfford himself
very seriously.
What with the quarrels over l lliin. the gagging over the fusion with
MeCornilck, and the failure of Plnchot as a leader on Ills own hook, the
Washington party seems to he rapidly losing the extraordinary position
it had among the electors of Pennsylvania in 1912.
Much Is expected of Colonel Roosevelt, now that he will soon make
his reappearance In the State as the lincli-pin of the Washingtonlana that
still hold together. Rut If the rest of his speeches shall not sUr the pub
lic mind more vigorously than the one he made In Philadelphia a few
weeks ago, even tile name of Teddy the Terrible will fail to restore their
lost pep.

Allies Holding Their
Lines Intact Despite
Onslaughts of Germans
Northern France and Coast of Belgium Are Still Fields of
Most Important Fighting; Developments Are Re
ported as Being Against Invading Forces; Important
Engagements Are Being Fought at Many Points With
out Decisive Results
Northern France and the coast of Belgium still are the fields
where the most important fighting in the western arena of the war
continues with the utmost stubbornness, but as yet without decisive
results. The French war office announces that the allied lines are
holding in spite of the furious onslaughts of the enemy, while news
dispatches from London asserts that developments generally are
against the invaders.
Berlin, however, has not been heard from 011 this subject since
yesterday. Lacking a German report as to the progress of the pro
longed engagements in this territory, the situation is being reported
only from the side of the allies. The German announcement of yes
terday said that in the fighting west of Lille German troops, taking
the offensive, had repulsed the enemy at several points.
British warships have played an important part in these oper
ations and there are indications that their activities are not yet at
an end. The fighting is going on night and day and the allies are
:-aid to be approaching close to the German positions before Lille.
No confirmation of the reported evacuation of Ostend has been
received. German garrison at Antwerp is said to have been reduced
and a German column of reinforcements with two of the famous
16-inch guns is reported as having passed through Antwerp on its
way to Bruges.
Outside of Belgium the fields of battle are numerous, Picardy,
Champagne, the Argonne, the Woevre, Lorraine, the Vosges and
Alsace being referred to as localities where fighting is taking place.
In several of these districts the French claim officially to have re
pulsed German attacks which they described as not so severe as in
the Belgian field. The French say also that they have made pro
gress in the Argonne and the Woevre territory.
GERMAN HEADQUARTERS DESTROYED
A house sheltering the headquarters of the German staff at
Slype, on the Belgian coast, has been destroyed by shell fire from
British warships, according to a news dispatch received in London
from Dunkirk.
The latest German casualty list gives the names of about 11,500
men killed, Avounded and missing.
In the eastern arena of the war both sides claim progress but
not in the same localities. Paris says officially that the Russians in
the vicinity of Warsaw have driven the enemy back eight miles and
the Petrograd war office declares that Russian troops have Saved
Warsaw from a German bombardment. There has been hand to
hand fighting in the vicinity of Blonie and Prouschkoff, in Russian
Pqland. he fighting south of Przemysl, according to this same au
thority, has been going on for six days with heavy losses 011 the
part of the Austrians.
A news dispatch from Warsaw says numerous parties of Ger
man prisoners, one of which included a German general, are con
stantly being brought into that city. An official statement given out
in Vienna says that Austrian forces have gained ground a several
points in Galicia and that the Russian counter attacks have not been
successful. Austrian troops have captured the heights north of
Nizankowice and they have taken possession also of the last pass
held by Russians in the Carpathians. There are now no Russians
in Hungary, according to the Vienna statement.
The German government has summoned the Reichstag to con
vene early in December to discuss the war situation, and according
to advices from Berlin the Prussian Diet is in session to-day and
will authorize a loan of $375,000,000.
The Krupp works are said to be reconstructing for the use of
the German army some 500 pieces of artillery captured by the Ger
mans from their enemies.
The native chief of Kamerun, the German colony in Equatorial
Africa has been executed because he attempted to lead the natives
in a rebellious movement against the German authorities. This news
comes to London from The Hague.
A news dispatch from Oporto, Portugal, says telegraphic com
munication with Lisbon has been interrupted. A revolutionary out
break occurred in Portugal yesterday but was promptly put down,
according to official announcement of the Portuguese authorities.
A dispatch from Tokio says Japanese squadron is seeking Ger
man warships in the neighborhood of Hawaii, and that the German
governor of Jaluit island, has reached Tokio on his way back to
Germany.
